A technique to determine absolute metabolite concentrations of the kidney in vivo using 31P NMR is described. The technique is based on the use of methylphosphonic acid (MPA), which gives rise to a well-resolved peak upfield from in vivo phosphorous metabolite resonances, as an "internal standard."

This article replies to Spencer et al. (J. Magn. Reson. 149, 251--257, 2001) concerning the degree to which chemical exchange affects partial saturation corrections using saturation factors. Considering the important case of in vivo (31)P NMR, we employ differential analysis to demonstrate a broad r
A novel resonator for receiving 31P NMR signals at 1.5 T, which because of its topology has been named a "sectorial resonator," exhibits good radio frequency coupling to the adult human liver. Minimal contamination from nonliver tissue (i.e., muscle) was achieved by the use of depth selective pulses
The use of a zig-zag surface coil with a three-pulse Fourier Series Window (FSW) has been suggested as a means by which in vivo NMR spectroscopic studies of human skin can be performed. Using direct numerical simulations of the magnetic field profile of a 10 limb zig-zag surface coil, the role of th
In an article in a previous issue of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance, Ouwerkerk and Bottomley (J. Magn. Reson. 148, pp. 425--435, 2001) show that even in the presence of chemical exchange, the dependence of saturation factors on repetition time in the one-pulse experiment is approximately monoexpo
